Bolton man charged with cocaine supply after stop search
Mohmed Bax, 45, of Eden Street, has been charged with possession with intent to supply cocaine.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said he has also been recalled to prison.
The charge relates to a stop search carried out by officers from the Bolton North Neighbourhood Team on Eden Street on Friday (June 26).
Bax was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court today (June 27).
According to an earlier report, police made the arrest after attending a quarterly Partners and Communities Together (PACT) meeting, where residents reported suspected drug activity on Old Road.
A spokesperson for GMP in Bolton said: “The PACT meeting is an opportunity for the community to raise concerns about crime in their area with the police, local councillors and the council.
“One concern raised by the community was around people supplying drugs on the street in the Old Road area of Astley Bridge.
“After the meeting, officers from the Bolton North Neighbourhood Team searched a man on Eden Street, off Old Road, suspected to be involved in supplying drugs in the area.”
